Abstract
The field of lymphedema surgery has grown tremendously in recent years. In particular, the diversity of available donor sites for vascularized lymph node transfer has increased, and new donor sites are emerging. Researchers have explored a number of different donor sites, and their reports have demonstrated promising results with each site. Unfortunately, there are limited studies providing a comprehensive analysis of the available donor sites focusing on both the technical aspects of the harvest, including complications and donor site morbidity, and the efficacy and outcomes following transfer. The present review aims to present a comprehensive analysis of the available donor sites for vascularized lymph node transfer and a summary of the experience from a single center of excellence.
